Heard it years ago, but I don't know who it's by, or what all the lyrics are. i seem to remember it was by a singer who often did skittish songs etc, (Did some recitations about Harold the Ventrillequist king of England, Scot of East Acton, and some others. Can any one help? |

If he's there tomorrow I'll ask him, unless someone posts first. |
